Sonos Manage Music Library Greyed Out Mac

by

Welcome to the Sonos Support Center. Look here for answers to all your pressing questions about how to get the most out of your Sonos system. I just downloaded the desktop controller for Mac, updated the software, and connected with my speaker. But everything under the Manage menu is greyed out, so the only thing I can listen to is preset radio stations. Why is everything greyed out, and how can I access those fields, specifically Music L. Dec 25, 2013  I am not sure it is that obvious that we can get to that. For me, at least 'about' is under the main 'Sonos' menu and the two 'settings' menus ('Music Library Settings' and 'Service Settings') are both under the 'Manage' menu.which all the options are greyed out. I can get to 'about' but I. Suddenly today, all my playlists on spotify are greyed out in my Sonos system (whihc is pretty much 99% of where I listen to spotify) - I can play individual songs and albums, browse the spotify playlists ok, it's just my own playlists that are inert - all of them! Everything is playing fine throu.
